Here's my card for today's Teapot Tuesday Challenge - our inspiration is a cool motorcycle gas tank teapot!
I had this 'I don't know what you call it symbol stamp' from Waltzingmouse that looked pretty close to the flames on the tank/teapot.
I inked the stamp with Versamark and then yellow, orange and red, stamped it on a white panel, clear embossed it, cut it with a petite oval nestie then inked over it in black before taking it out of the die.
I embossed the sentiment in silver on a white panel and again, die cut it and sponged over it with black before taking it out of the die.
Cool huh?!?!
This card will be going to Neil who recently had a motorcycle accident and although he most likely will not ride again - still loves 'bikes'.

Ha, I don't know what you'd call that symbol either. It's a bit like a very stylized Celtic knot, but it's certainly perfect for dressing up a bike or a set of leathers.

This is a very cool card! That symbol (whatever you call it!) is absolutely perfect for this challenge. Kudos to you for seeing the flames in it - the detail you included is so obvious (thanks for sharing - I always love to hear how things are made!) Thanks too, for making this for Neil. I love it and so will he
